Can someone please tell me why the Timer is trying to Convert an int into a String. Here is the error that keeps coming up.

CurrentTimePrinter.java:48: error: incompatible types: int cannot be converted to String time = new Timer(1000,listener);

CurrentTimePrinter.java:49: error: cannot find symbol time.start();

You are using java.util.Timer. You want javax.swing.Timer here.

Replace that in the imports, it should be:

 import javax.swing.Timer;
